Street Rodder Tour

LONG BEACH, Calif. – United Pacific Industries will be the Title Sponsor of the 2018 United Pacific Street Rodder Road Tour which has been held annually by Street Rodder Magazine since 1996. For the tour, a nationally-known builder is commissioned to build and design a state-of-the-art street rod. The 2018 tour will have Hot Rods by Dean building a 1932 Ford pickup truck using the United Pacific Industries ’32 Ford body cab and door shells.

“Each year, we do eight week-long tours to different automotive events. I drive that year’s build to each event, and interact with street rod enthusiasts. It’s a really fun and interesting way to connect with people,” said Jerry Dixey, Road Tour Director for Street Rodder Magazine.

The ’32 Ford body cab and door shells from United Pacific that Hot Rods by Dean will use are exact replicas of the originals. United Pacific Industries reproduced each part specifically for the street rod enthusiasts who want to rebuild a ’32 Ford truck without having to search through junkyards to find the necessary pieces. Officially licensed by Ford, the body cab and door shells are designed to be easily installed.

“The Street Rodder Tour is a great opportunity to see enthusiasts and show them that they, too, can accomplish their lifelong dream of rebuilding their own street rod or hot rod. United Pacific Industries is proud to sponsor the 2018 Street Rodder Tour because, like our customers, we, too, are enthusiasts,” said Jai Baek, marketing director.

Dixey’s travels in the ’32 Ford truck will be documented on the Street Rodder Magazine website, streetrodder.com as well as in the pages of the magazine. Street Rodder Magazine invited their readers to “come along for the ride” as they tour the United States in 2018.

I grew up and lived in Iowa for nearly 40 years before moving to Southern California and now live in Tennessee. I have been into cars since I was old enough to remember. I don't have a brand loyalty although I do prefer American Muscle especially the 1969/1970 NASCAR Aero Cars. (Check our our www.TalladegaSpoilerRegistry.com page) As long as it has four wheels on it I get excited. Few men are lucky enough to be able to share their passion for cars with the woman they love. Fortunately, my wife Katriana is also a gear head and many of our activities revolve around the cars. We have a small collection that includes at least one car from each of the Big Three. Katrina prefers all original cars while I like to modify them so we have a few of each. When we aren't playing with cars we are out with our miniature donkeys.
